Gokuwmon

Not to be confused with Gokumon, an Ultimate Cyborg Digimon introduced in 2001.

Profile Name & Etymology Debut Design & Analysis Digimon Reference Book Anime & Manga ⇨ Original Gokuwmon, who was born from within the boiling magma of Boot Volcano, extracted data from numerous databases to serve as models in its pursuit of strength, becoming a Combat Digimon that awakened to the combat instinct it was born with. Although it is journeying across the Digital World to challenge formidable enemies and satiate the craving engraved inside of its heart, if it encounters an opponent that it judges to be strong it will insolently request a battle, regardless of the situation. However, due to the "Kinkoji" which was placed on Gokuwmon's head by Sanzomon when it was born, its head will be constricted and it will pass out if it swears to excess, so it reluctantly observes decorum. Gokuwmon is proficient in a large number of martial and magical arts, and since the "Nyoikinkobou" in its hand is extensible, it can inflict strikes on enemies that are far away, and is also an all-purpose weapon that can fire a lightning cannon while connected, and fire lightning bullets as pistols when split in two. With its "Higi: Mugen'ei", in which it toys with the enemy with its deft wielding of the "Nyoikinkobou" and its acrobatic movements, it unleashes an attack of afterimages that makes it look like the opponent is under attack by a horde of Gokuwmon. It can thrust the "Nyoikinkobou" into the ground and extend it upwards into a thundercloud in the sky, where it then runs up into the cloud and accumulates the thunder energy within itself, and rams into the opponent like a bolt of thunder (Shippūjinraigeki). It can amplify and fire the energy within the "Nyoikinkobou" (Choutaiden Raikouhou). Also, with its magical art "Kintoun", in which it gathers clouds and flies through the sky, it is able to move through the air at high speed. Digimon Reference Book ⇨ English ブート火山で煮えたぎるマグマの中から誕生したゴクウモンは、強さを求め幾多のデーターベースからモデルとなるデータを抽出した結果、産まれながらに闘争本能に目覚めた戦闘型デジモンとなった。強敵に挑むことと心の奥に刻みつけられた渇望に従ってデジタルワールドを旅しているが、強いと判断した相手に遭遇すると傲慢無礼に所構わず戦いを申し出る。しかしゴクウモン誕生時にサンゾモンから頭に取り付けられた「緊箍児（きんこじ）」により、度がすぎる悪態をつくと頭が締め付けられ悶絶するため、渋々と礼節を守っている。ゴクウモンは数々の武術・妖術に長けており、手に持つ「如意金箍棒（にょいきんこぼう）」は伸縮自在で離れた敵にも打撃を与えられ、また連結状態で雷光砲を放ち、分割し２丁拳銃として雷光弾を撃つこともできる万能武器である。「如意金箍棒」を軽やかに扱いアクロバッティックな動きで敵を翻弄し「秘技・夢現影（ひぎ・むげんえい）」で多くのゴクウモンから攻撃されているかのような残像攻撃を繰り出す。「如意金箍棒」を地面に突き立て上空雷雲まで伸ばし駆け昇り、自らに雷エネルギーを溜め込み、落雷のように敵に体当たりする「疾風迅雷撃（しっぷうじんらいげき）」。「如意金箍棒」の内部にエネルギーを増幅して放つ「超帯電雷光砲（ちょうたいでんらいこうほう）」。また雲を集めて空を飛ぶ妖術「觔斗雲（きんとうん）」で空を高速移動することも出来る。 デジモン図鑑 ⇨ Original Kanada's Partner.

The Disguised Phantom Thief Betsumon" Video Game Digimon Collectors V-Pet Pendulum COLOR 6 Saiyu Warriors Card 3-026 Gokuwmon is part of a set of Digimon who were introduced in Digimon Jintrix in 2011, all of whom are closely modeled on the principal cast of the classical Chinese novel Journey to the West—in Gokuwmon's case, Sūn Wùkōng. Other Digimon in this set include Cho·Hakkaimon, Sagomon, Kinkakumon, Ginkakumon, Sanzomon, and Shakamon. Many of Gokuwmon's abilities and equipment are directly taken from those of Sun Wukong: Its Kinkoji is based on the circlet that Tang Sanzang (on whom Sanzomon was based) uses to keep Sūn Wùkōng in line. Its Nyoikinkobou is based on and named after Sūn Wùkōng's Ruyi Jingu Bang. Its Kintoun technique is named after, and based on a common depiction of, Sūn Wùkōng's ability to travel immense distances in a single somersault, specifically its common depiction as Sūn Wùkōng riding on a cloud. In 2025, the Pendulum COLOR 6 Saiyu Warriors debuted a number of new Digimon based on Journey to the West, including the Ultimate form of Gokuwmon: Seiten Gokuwmon, who shines golden. Seiten Gokuwmon was designed alongside Kakamon as depictions of the Sūn Wùkōng character.
